+
+During final testing before the release of 5.12.0, several developers
+discovered current production code using these ancient libraries, some
+inside the Perl core itself. Accordingly, the pumpking granted them
+a stay of execution. They will begin to warn about their deprecation
+in the 5.14.0 release and will be removed in the 5.16.0 release.
